Invisible Woman Helps Detect Alleged Bot Matches in Marvel Rivals

The introduction of the Invisible Woman to Marvel Rivals has sparked a new conversation among fans, particularly regarding the detection of what many believe to be bot enemies within their lobbies. The issue of bots has been a hot topic for weeks, with players suspecting that developer NetEase Games might be using low-level AI opponents to keep engagement high. The debate intensified with the release of Season 1, which introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, bringing not only meta shifts but also unexpected insights into gameplay mechanics.

A video shared by Reddit user barky1616 showcased an unconventional use of Invisible Woman's ability. In the clip, Sue Storm turns invisible and effectively blocks the path of half the enemy team simply by standing in front of them. The opposing team does not attempt to navigate around her or engage until she becomes visible again, leading to a resumption of normal combat. This peculiar behavior has fueled speculation that the enemy team might consist of bots, unable to recognize the obstruction caused by the new hero. While attempting this trick may yield varying results, the video has left the community puzzled and concerned about the potential prevalence of bots in Marvel Rivals.

Without official confirmation from NetEase, the presence of AI enemies in matches remains unverified. IGN has reached out to NetEase for clarification on the alleged bot issue in Marvel Rivals.
